It sure looks like passing is a bad idea this time. But a double will surely elicit an advance in hearts, and that’s not what you want to hear. You cannot overcall two clubs, because partner would interpret that as Michaels. How about an overcall in one of your two 4-card suits?

Rate the following alternatives for your action:

  1. Make an overcall of one diamond
  2. Make an overcall of one spade
  3. Make a takeout double
